Done For…


touch-of-evil

Done For…

engaging gang-bang battle.
dis-organized crime – wave of fist.
wasted – without end.
fried, fragged, flatlined.

cum-back, fight s’more

suicide addiction.
beer bottle abrasion.
brass-knuckle battle.
bruises, bites –
tribulations.

take it like ur happi

one day its fisticuffs;
next time, pistol to head.
smeared, spoiled, snuffed.
tie that toe tag tight.

see ya in the boneyard

About zongrik

For those of you who do not know the handle "zongrik," that would be Bat-Ami Gordin. Most people call me "Tammy." Bat-Ami means "daughter of my nation" in Hebrew. It's a heavy name to carry around. I answer to either name. I also answer to "mama." Some Basic Things about me: Animal lover, mom, poet/writer, dramatic soprano, photographer, teacher/tutor, CERT/Technician and, oh yeah, aerospace engineer. I consider myself "The Astro-Poet." To learn more about the origins of the word "zongrik" see whats-a-zongrik?

  5. Oh you have a great rhythm going! thanks for sharing it!

  6. I was a misfit, never bothered to try and be in with the ‘in crowd’ I was also chubby, scruffy, poor. So, yes, I was picked on. But, I didn’t care. I had a couple of good friends and I was myself and wouldn’t pretend to be anything but me. 😉

  24. love your reading…you’re quite the actor and your sense of humor shines through your voice…what a treat!

    • thanks. i couldn’t wait till you heard my voice because i always like it when you put a recording up. so it means a lot to me that you liked my voice. (i’ve taken a considerable amount of acting, but i don’t act, and i’ve done a lot of vocal training)

  25. Jeez you’re one tough chick 🙂

  26. This is cool … you really caught the tone of these two thugs! Good going. For Magpie Tales: http://crowsfete.blogspot.com/2012/06/no-fear.html

    very cool. The reading is freaking awesome, love the voices and intonations. Really fun.

  28. If there could be such a thing as “alley poetry” this would be a wonderful example! Raw sense of alternative society!
